Pakistani Diaspora Among the World's Largest

How about this one from Time Magazine:

"I am very much in favor of immigration everywhere in the U.S. except Edison, N.J. The mostly white suburban town I left when I graduated from high school in 1989 — the town that was called Menlo Park when Thomas Alva Edison set up shop there and was later renamed in his honor — has become home to one of the biggest Indian communities in the U.S., as familiar to people in India as how to instruct stupid Americans to reboot their Internet routers....

For a while, we assumed all Indians were geniuses. Then, in the 1980s, the doctors and engineers brought over their merchant cousins, and we were no longer so sure about the genius thing. In the 1990s, the not-as-brilliant merchants brought their even-less-bright cousins, and we started to understand why India is so damn poor.

Joel Stein on Immigration, New Jersey's Indian Influx - TIME

Nope I would rather believe the American census bureau, than some newbie journalist trying to boost his career by being controversial.

Dont US Indians earn like the most money or something and most educated like Jews?




Education

According to the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, there are close to 35,000 Indian American doctors.[22] According to the 2000 census, about 64% of Indian Americans have attained a Bachelor's degree or more.[23] (compared to 28% nationally, and 44% average for all Asian American groups). Almost 40% of all Indians have a master’s, doctorate or other professional degree, which is five times the national average.[19] Among Indian Americans, 72.3% participate in the U.S. work force, of which 57.7% are employed in managerial and professional specialties.[24]

Economics

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Indian American men had "the highest year-round, full-time median earnings ($51,094)", while Indian American women had a median income of $35,173.[23]

Indian Americans own 50% of all economy lodges and 35% of all hotels in the United States, which have a combined market value of almost $40 billion.[25] In 2002, there were over 223,000 Asian Indian-owned firms in the U.S., employing more than 610,000 workers, and generating more than $88 billion in revenue

i believe pakistani ppl are saying that indians in USA are dumb but they are doing high end job (doesnt prove that they are intelligent ) while pakistani ppl are doing low end in higher proportion compared to indians that again doenst prove that they are dumb

looks like pakistani intelligent ppl in USA prefer low end jobs

It's a similar case with India and China. What this means is that people want decent salaries and amenities which they don't get in their home country. Nothing to be proud of.

While there is nothing wrong with being a taxi driver, all this bigoted talk by Indians about most of the taxi drivers in America being Pakistan is just nonsense as confirmed by the NY Times data.

It shows that there are 16000 Indian taxi drivers in America versus 10,000 Pakistan taxi drivers.

more appropriate way to say is only 2% of indian in USA are taxi driver while 10% of pakistani living in USA are taxi driver
and yes there is nothing wrong in taxi driver job but it does show the working skill

Yes but there are many more Indians then Paks in USA, I am also sure India has more doctors, millionaires, businessmen, politicians, journalists then Pakistan in USA too.

Another twisted post from you as usual.

There are approx. 3 Million Indians in U.S. There are 200 thousand Pakistani in U.S. Ratio is 1:15 (if data is true)

For India, 16,000 Taxi Driver out of 3 Million means 0.56% as Taxi Driver.
For Pakistan, 10,000 Taxi Driver out of 2,00,000 means 5% as Taxi Driver.

So, Difference is 1:10 population wise. Also, Indian IT Professional number is more than Pakistani people in U.S. :smokin:

Is having a large diaspora population a good thing? The diaspora population is, generally, entrepreneurial, progressive, hard working, law abiding -- seems to me just exactly the kind of people you want to stay in the country, so why then do they leave, what does it say about the state from which they leave? and the kinds of states they migrate to?

Again your post makes no sense, i give you one example most Pakistanis in US are immigrants sponsered by their relatives, so in immigration your whole family has to immigrate & live in US for certain amount of time to become American national.

Is it? You have to move your whole family to US to get US nationality?

really amazing man whatever u guys c going in indian favour u come out with a logic to counter it
to counter this logic germany has 476000 diaspora in USA it doesnt mean that USA is better than germany or germany is better than USA
and by ur logic what u will say about china having 10 million more diaspora than india and going by ur logic china is not better than india because more entrepreneurial, progressive, hard working, law abiding ppl left china is that what r u trying to say?
